Life is short, blink and you might miss it!!

I kiss you quick and hard, sharing my lip balm
You pull backwards surprised, eyes widening
Laughing, I jog away telling you to smell
You guess wrong, but it doesn't matter...mission accomplished

The goal: to leave my scent on you
Hoping to capture your attention, nudge your memory
Didn't quite anticipate just how much
I missed the feel of your lips on mine

It took every ounce of self discipline
To turn and walk away, run more aptly
Almost the same amount of courage
To walk back and joke about it.

You looked at me with your warm brown eyes
The world gently feel away as I was ensorcelled
And you smiled! I love to see you smile
Especially when you try so hard not to

Two goals were achieved this night
You left smelling of me, if only temporarily
I got to wrap my arms around you and hold on for a moment or two
And you smiled at me!

OK so it was three, but life is too short to nit pick. Especially about the good stuff!!
